The "religious right" is a trumped up straw man peddled by liberals to justify their war on Christianity. The left's al Qaida mess still would have screwed us on 9/11, so the Neo Cons, made up of former liberals and conservatives aggressively positioned against terrorism NOT for religious reasons, but for national security ones, still would have become a powerful influence in the party.
And contrary to the persistent smears of the terror-apologist left, fighting back is not being a warmonger...just ask the Democrats who got us into nearly every war we've been in for the last hundred years.

So terror-sponsors with a history of using WMD to commit mass murder would still be making a laughing stock out of the US and the UN in a post-9/11 world...only a liberal could keep a straight face while misrepresenting this as an improvement.

Our "allies," who have been using diplomacy on Iran for years now-with zero results-would not have been able to appease and embolden the regime Democrats installed in Iran any more easily with President Gore pandering for France's approval at the expense of America's national interests.

Actually he would have lost in 2004 because there would have been no way for Democrats to cloud the issue that they caused 9/11.

Besides, judging by the left's smearing of that war as a quagmire and comparing it to Vietnam 3 whole weeks in, I'm not sure someone as far left as President Gore wouldn't have argued that fighting back would simply play into enemy hands and therefore do absolutely nothing as the administration he worked for had done for years...and with the number of times Democrats actually had Bin Laden in their sites and still refused to do anything about him, I can't imagine he'd actually lift a finger to bring him in if we had located him.

Newsflash: If Gore were in office, the economy would have never recovered from the left's al Qaida mess when 9/11 still happened (because he would not have responded to the economic free fall by cutting taxes and turning things around). Similarly, Katrina still would have happened (and their wouldn't be a Republican in office to blame for Democrat incompetence), corporate scandals still would have happened, the gas prices caused by Democrats would be even higher (from those gas tax hikes they still advocate to this day), frivolous lawsuits (protected by Democrats) would still be wrecking the health care system, amnesty would have already been granted to the economy-raping hordes invading our country from below, unions would still be sending our jobs overseas, and most importantly, there would no longer be prosperity from a tech boom for Democrats to take credit for while working against it at every turn, delaying the natural consequences of economically suicidal Democrat policies (see, the Clinton Recession).
